Cabinet okays education agreement with China

The Slovak Education Ministry is expected to sign an agreement with China on recognising university diplomas, school certificates and academic titles between the two countries, according to a ministry-sponsored proposal approved by the Slovak Government at its session on Tuesday. The agreement aims to improve and simplify the current process of mutually recognising education documents pursued by the two countries. China initiated the agreement in 2016 in order to enhance cooperation in this area and to support the mobility of talent between the two countries. The agreement defines the requirements that Chinese students must meet in order to be admitted to Slovak universities and vice versa. It also specifies the individual university diplomas and certificates that students can obtain in Slovakia and in China.
